Please remember to wash and return the beach towel for outside snack days!
Wednesday is ice cream day.
I have truly loved being able to watch your child grow and develop this year. Every child has worked their little hearts out this year. We are having our last full week of regular lessons. Your child begin to bring home reading textbooks that are not being used next year to keep up those reading skills over the summer.
Key Concepts for the Week:
Religion--We are going to finish our chapter learning about Mary and the saints on Monday. On Wednesday we will go to Mass. Later in the week, we will begin Chapter 10 learning about the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Language Arts/Grammar--This is our final unit in our Reading Street Series. The phonics skills this week are using suffixes and digraph /oo/. The main story is a crowd pleaser "Henry and Mudge." The grammar lessons focus on the use of adjectives to compare. Wednesday will be decodable story homework.
Handwriting--Last week of spelling words for the year. The list will come home on Monday, practice test Wednesday, and final test on Friday. Tuesday we will use our handwriting book to write words related to the Holy Trinity and Thursday we will write the Guardian Angel Prayer. Reminder--students who get all the words correct on the practice spelling test do not have to retake it on Friday.
Math--This week the lessons are counting pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. By the middle of the week the children will be combining dimes and pennies or dimes and nickels. The end of chapter test is Friday.
Science--We are going to begin our unit on plants. Monday we will enjoy a Scholastic Newspaper. Tuesday and Wednesday the children will be making their own plant dictionary. Thursday the students will create a plant life cycle hat and Friday will be planting day.
SPELLING WORDS: nicely, gladly, sadly, quickly, slowly, useful, careful, painful, playful, wonderful
WORDS TO PRACTICE READING: opened, shoes, told, dance, because, across, only
